yeah no biggie, the only hard bit was driving through Paris, but we wont be doing that. if we avoid major towns then we should be ok. might be able to pursuade a sat nav out of my boss for the run who knows
well me and paul are in his mini, chris will hopefully have his done by then, so he might have a seat but you'll have to ask him. As for ed and bob who knows if they'll go. might just be the 3 or 4 of us, which is cool.
Be cool if Roj could go

If I can change the meeting and change my managers mind I would be interested but I haven't every driven aboard so would there be any space as a passager from any one? Driving aboard is dead easy and so much more fun. Just take a good map reader with you.

just a thought, going from newcastle to amsterdam cuts out driving all the way down to dover, then driving up the coast of france and germany to get to denmark.
its £170 each for a ferry crossing from newcastle to amsterdam (for 2 people), slightly cheaper if 4 sharing a cabin that sleeps 4.
thats the ferry and a bed (so saves on a hotel and all the petrol)
trying to do it the cheaper way will take longer and be really hard work doing all that driving. (me and paul learnt that when going to america, it costs a bit more to do direct, but to save some pounds it was a ball ache)

Few things to think about when driving too Marie.
1) Distance 2) Reliability 3) Cost 4) Sights 5) Experience
things like that, cutting out the drive cuts out a few possible problems but be an expereince sort of thing, id be up for doing anything really as long as we go.

Same here althought the Newcastle to Amsterdam makes sense on the cost front.

Well when we all get paid up for the tickets we can all sit down and decide.
Have you 2 registered for your ticket yet? get on the site and register for your ticket. you'll get an email with a confirmation code. you dont pay there and then. when your ready to pay you do a bank transfer according to the email details. ive got mine, it kinda holds the places for you.
